where the russians have placed offensive nuclear weapons, but what the russians would do if we invaded cuba. the threat made by khrushchev, setting off the nuclear trip wire, starting the countdown to a third world war. this is what berlin meant in 1961 and '62, it's why kennedy said, when he heard the russians put up that berlin wall, quote better a wall than a war. it's why the people of west berlin were so exuberant when kennedy came to visit in june of '63. the american people were determined to stand their ground in defending the berliners. more than that, it was our country's statement to the rising third world at the time. this was the choice they faceds in building their own societies. a free west berlin or a society that needed walls to keep its own people in. >> there are many people in the world who really don't understand or say they don't, what is a great issue between the free world and the communist world. let them come to berlin. >> john kennedy's speech was for all those reasons the finest statement of the cold war. when the conflict was about, what the stakes were, what th

appears to be as of today that he is flying -- will catch another flight from moscow, many believe to cuba. then on to venezuela. and when you look at it, every one of those nations is hostile to the united states. i mean, if he could go to north korea and iran, he could round out his government oppression tour by snowden. so you think about what he says he wants and what his actions are, it defies logic. he has taken information that does not belong to him. it belongs to the people of the united states. he has jeopardized our national security. i disagree with the reporter. clearly, the bad guys have already changed their way. remember, these were counterterrorism programs essentially, and we have seen that bad guys overseas, terrorists who are committing and plotting attacks on the united states and our allies have changed the way they operate. we've already seen that. to say that that is not harmful to the national security of the united states, or our safety, is just dead wrong. >> glenn greenwald mentioned he doesn't have the opinion, but got documents supporting it, essentially sayin
